KENYA BULLETIN BOARD

WE HAVE BEEN GIVING FREE BIBLES SINCE 2013. IN THE SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY, HERE ARE SOME OF OUR THOUGHTS.

WHO ARE WE? We are a very small group. We are just like you in that we have families whom we are responsible for and we are concerned about our children and grandchildren. We have to earn a living to support our families by feeding, clothing and praying for them that they grow up serving our great God. We also have limited time and funds and must spread them over all our other responsibilities. We view this ministry as helping our neighbor with their problems. As you know, helping your neighbor with their burdens takes a love that only God can provide along with a committed effort to do His will. We are sure that those of you that love and help your neighbor understand what we are trying to do for you.

HERE IS HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS IN KENYA1. Our primary Bible is the Swahili Bible [we buy in bulk and have our logo on the cover]. We inventory them at the Biblica store in Nairobi. When biblica publishes Bibles for us, they give us their predictions as to when they will have our Bibles, in inventory in Nairobi. We are all frustrated with delays [in publishing], but they are a fact-of-life. We will tell you the time that they predict we will have Bibles, but we take no responsibility for their predictions. If in your area you do not speak or understand Swahili, and if we can get the Bibles from Biblica we will be willing to send you Bibles in one of the following five languages EKEGUSII, DHOLUO, KALENJIN, KELANJINE or KIKUYU. We will send you 20 Bibles one time. We hope this one-time shipment will help strengthen your congregation.

2. Everyone who gets Bibles from us must fill in the “New Ministry Sign-up Sheet” and provide us with a picture of their congregation, a personal testimonial and it is very important that you send a working email address, a working phone number and a valid shipping address - otherwise the shipper will not be able to get ahold of you and you may not get your Bibles. Some of the ministries in the past have not filled in these Sign-up Sheets because we didn’t have them available but now that we have them available, we will also request that these pasted ministries give us the information we need. We know this may be an inconvenience, but we need the information in our files to serve you better. When we receive the Sign-up Sheet from the new ministries, we will put them at the bottom of the list for new ministries receiving Bibles and as time goes on, they will move up the list to the top of the list and receive Bibles. Once your quota is filled [the number of Bibles you have requested], we will remove your name from the list to receive Bibles and keep your name in our files.

3. We send 20 Bibles at the end of the each month to 4 to 6 ministries at the top of the list. New ministries have priority but both lists will receive some Bibles monthly [if we have the Bibles]. We do not send all the Bibles you need at once. We do this so that all ministries receive some Bibles as time goes on. Those with more than 20 Bibles will have to wait to go from the bottom of the list to the top of the list before they receive 20 more bibles.

Our goal is not that we give you all the Bibles you need but that your congregation will get enough Bibles to make a difference. If your ministry does not fit well into the above program we kindly encourage you to search for another Bible Ministry that shares your objectives with our Blessing! ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- CURRENT * UPDATE: Our personalized Swahili Bibles are on the high seas at this time. Biblica has predicted that they will have them in their inventory sometime in October.*MUST PROVIDE: You MUST provide us with a working phone number, a working email address and a valid shipping address. Most of you have provided us with adequate information. If the shipping company has a problem with and one of these three you may not get your Bibles. If this should happen we can take no responsibility for providing you with Bibles. Please give us valid information!*PLEASE on your emails send us the name of your ministry. We file by you ministries name. It takes extra time to search out you ministry when you give us your name only. THANK YOU FOR COMPLYING TO THE ABOVE REQUESTS - BLESSINGS ON EACH OF YOU————————————————————————————————————————————————————————--———
